Just tried changing on the mini with 0.1.6 and it works fine.
Going to try 0.1.6 again on the iMac and see what happens.

Ok, must be something specific to the iMac hardware, perhaps the 2600HD vid card?
0.1.6 does the same, completely locks up the PC.
Any other place I can check for any type of log that may be saved before the PC dumps?

Ouch, nasty problem.
The Shoutcast problem is a known issue.
Just to clarify, are you in full-screen mode? If so, can you try windowed mode and see if the entire Mac is hanging, or just XBMC? If not, and the entire machine hangs, that's a serious problem, and sounds like a driver issue.
The log should be in /var/tmp/xbmc.log after you reboot.
Thanks, and I'm sorry to hear about your trouble.

Thanks for the log! My guess is that it's a driver issue with the ATI video. My wife has the same model iMac (20"), but she'll kick my ass if I start messing with it. I may have similar video hardware in house shortly, so I'll see if I can reproduce here.
Have you updated the firmware for the video card?

The good news is that you don't have to mess with that setting. It defaults to always enabled, and I don't know of any good reasons to turn it off, unless you like watching tearing video.

LOL!
Well needless to say, I havent done it since.
I dont use XBMC as much on the iMac anymore, since I now run it on a mini.
Thought I would point it out though, as other may have had the same issue.
